Constant pins & needles!

Posting in AIBU mainly for traffic but also AIBU to wait another 2 weeks?

I've been having increasing pins needles the last 2-3 weeks. Started in feet and has spread to lower limbs arms and sometimes in the hands/fingers. It's been quite painful at times. It also feels like my legs go dead more quickly, very low tolerance for sitting down without legs quickly feeling odd

Called GP who asked if I had signs of infection ( I don't) or swelling( I don't) and that I should call back in 2 weeks if not resolved. Feels like I always get that response no matter what!

Should I be worried or just wait it out another fortnight?

Lack of Vitamin B12? aka Pernicious Anaemia?
Diabetes?
Spinal issue pressing on nerves?
Keep a journal of symptoms before you see GP. This might help focus your mind on what might be causing it.
Make sure you get as many tests done as possible.
Try not to worry until you’ve seen Doctor.
